1 Samuel 9:15-20
15Now a day before Saul’s coming, 1the Lord had 2revealed this to Samuel, saying,
16“About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and 3you shall anoint him as ruler over My people Israel; and he will save My people from the hand of the Philistines. For 4I have considered My people, because their outcry has come to Me.”
17When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord 5said to him, “6Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! This one shall rule over My people.”
18Then Saul approached Samuel at the gateway and said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”
19And Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up ahead of me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you everything that is on your mind.
207And as for your donkeys that wandered off three days ago, do not be concerned about them, for they have been found. And 8for whom is everything that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father’s household?”
